Rico Regina B

Rico Regina B, a self-certified small disadvantaged and woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Alexandria, Virginia, provides translation, interpretation, cultural advisory support, and artificial intelligence language capabilities to the Department of State as a prime contractor, competing in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements and holding recurring blanket purchase agreement positions with the Bureau of Administration since 2016.

Rico Regina B's federal work is narrowly concentrated with a single customer. The Department of State Bureau of Administration accounts for 147 of 151 total awards (97% by count, 99% by potential value of $992 thousand), with the remaining four awards ($6 thousand combined) from the parent Department of State organization. The vendor competes exclusively on language services BPA call orders—151 prime awards across five years, with no subcontract activity and no parent IDIQs or GWACs. All work falls under NAICS 541612 (Translation and Interpretation Services) and PSC H051 (Support—Administrative: Translation and Interpreting).

The vendor holds multiple sequential annual BPA positions with the Bureau of Administration. The current vehicle (Blanket Purchase Agreement 190PRL25A0175, $250 thousand ceiling, performance through September 2026) reflects expanded capacity from prior years. The prior-year vehicle (190PRL24A0175, $150 thousand ceiling, ended September 2024) generated 37 task orders; the 2023 vehicle (190PRL23A0175, $150 thousand ceiling) generated 30 task orders; the 2022 vehicle generated 21 task orders; and the 2021 vehicle generated 8 task orders. The pattern reflects year-over-year growth in order frequency—from 8 in 2021 to 41 in 2024—though 2025 shows only 4 awards to date, likely reflecting the recency of source data capture (October 15, 2026, with most recent award October 1, 2025).

Award sizes are characteristically small. Individual call orders range from $179 to $11,200, with most clustered in the $400 to $8,000 range. The $998 thousand combined potential value across 151 awards yields an average ceiling of approximately $6,600 per order. Obligated dollars ($348 thousand, or 35% of potential value) suggest modest execution pace relative to available authority. Representative work includes translation and interpretation support for diplomatic operations, counter-trafficking initiatives, trade promotion activities, specialized country and regional studies, program administration, and engagement facilitation across Latin America (Colombia, Venezuela, Paraguay, Mexico) and other geographic regions.

The vendor's federal footprint is entirely dependent on the State Department's language services BPA vehicle structure and renewal cycles. All 151 awards are BPA call orders issued by the Bureau of Administration without set-aside designations. The vendor does not appear on any government-wide contracts, agency IDIQs, or subcontractor rosters in the source data. Customer concentration and narrow technical scope (language services only) create both stability—the Bureau has renewed the BPA annually since 2016—and vulnerability, as the entire revenue stream hinges on a single agency's BPA recompete and task-order placement discipline.
